Hi Ahmed,

just saw this, dont know if anyone has replied. 
1/ Davide et al, copied here, had similar problem a few years back (i.e. need to send packets out thru the same WiFi interface they came in), I believe they modified the code to do that.

2/ a note to NFD folks on this list: maybe one would re-visit this design issue of "NFD forwarder doesn't permit forwarding data packet throw the same downstream face"?
